Propylene Glycol is the number one ingredient. Not great to be putting on your skin. Didn't have my glasses with me when I bought this otherwise I would have left it on the shelf.

TL;DR If you've been using another a Vitamin C serum with lackluster results, which aren't related to your improper usage and/or storage of said Vitamin C, I highly recommend Obagi 20%. ===== Have ...Read more

I am using the 15% formula, since I had never used it before and wasn't sure how my skin would react. The 15% formula is also cheaper than the 20%. But I wish I'd bought the 20%! But I love this stuff...Read more

This serum is superior, and works wonders albeit pricey -- that is, if you buy it directly from your dermatologist. If you purchase it online through Amazon, I am told it is far cheaper. OK. As for t...Read more
